Peanut Island Water Taxi, Florida, United States
4.0 (48 reviews) Spent Ranking #5 in Riviera Beach Ferries
Great service
Efficient, quick, cheap, and enjoyable. This ferry shuttle service to Peanut Island is great. Easy, free parking, and cheap rates ($12/adult, $6/kid). They also rent snorkeling gear, and sell snacks/drinks/sunscreen right on the boat. Our captain was a great tour guide for the short ride over. This ferry is a small price to pay to have an incredible day on Peanut Island. Honestly, for the experience of spending time on this type of great island you would pay a lot more in other locations.

Wow - An Honest Man!!!
We arrived in the mid afternoon to take Captain Joe's water taxi across to Peanut Island so we could tour the Coast Guard station and Kennedy bunker. On our arrival, Captain Joe had about 8 empty seats on his vessel, but instead of taking our money and advising us to hop on, he warned us about the impending weather conditions. He advised us not to go across to the island, and also spent time telling us all about what we would be able to see there on a better day. He gave us his phone number and informed us that we should ahead next time so he could advise us as to whether the day was suitable for our visit. In being honest with us, he lost four fares, but gained a great deal of respect.

Best way to get to Peanut Island
We live nearby and take the water taxi to Peanut Island often. It runs often, the price is reasonable, and it takes you right to a dock where a sidewalk begins, so it's easy if you're bringing a rollaboard suitcase or a cooler on wheels.
